Due to the fixed USB packet size, the original code does not support flight sim commands or controls with names longer than 58 characters.
This patch splits those long datarefs in various packets and permits names up to 250 characters. It requires an updated version of the X-Plane plugin. Older versions of the plugin won't crash, but will just silently ignore the long datarefs.
The code also provides an optional parameter of type
void *that can be passed to the onChange callback-function. That way, the same callback function can be used to handle various datarefs.Successfully tested on T2++, T3.1 and LC.
